September 2023 Challenge #1 - Creative Photo Editing

[ClaireG]

All members that participate,
can everyone PLEASE ensure that you read all the rules for this challenge
so that you can claim your challenge points. Thank you!
​

Hey,

Claire here, I am excited to be hosting the creative photo editing challenge, because this is a bit of a challenge for me too and so I took a look through my layouts for inspiration.
I realised that I apply filters to my photos quite a lot and this is such an easy way to enhance a good photo OR mask/fix a bad photo that you still want to use.

So that is what I want you to do - apply any filter to your photo - SIMPLE!! You can use any program and any filter.

I went with a vintage filter from BeFunky.com - I really liked the colours.
Here are my original and modified photos.


You can see that it really enhances my photo.
I also did another version, so you can see what really creative filters look like.

I love how this turned out and I will definitely be using it in the future!

Here is my final layout using Emeto Designs 'Note to Self' Collection.




**********

RULES:
- Apply any filter to your photo and tell me, in this thread, what you used.

I never think to play with the filters. Thanks for the challenge! I used a Blue Color Photo Filter on my large photo to bring more blue into the background rocks.

I used a filter called "sketch with coloured crayons" in my PSE program. I'm now sure what it's called in English as I have Swedish text in the program.

[Dady]

Thank you Claire for this challenge !
To process the photo, I used Akvis Drawn- Creamy Yellow Canvas!

 

[isDK]

Thanks Claire for the challenge. I use the same filters all the time, to save time. Saving time is usually high on my list.

I used Adobe's Neural filter, Landscape Mix, set to Autumn for all 5 photos. It looks like sunrise, but 4 out of 5 photos were actually from the blue hour before sunrise.

For this challenge I used the Color Pencil Filter in Photo shop on a copy of the photo. The copy is the layer above original and on the copy, I used Blend Mode Linear Light to achieve the look.

Thank you so much for this awesome challenge, Claire! I'm including the original photo of our granddaughter. I used photo apps to change the photo three times. The photo with the pink/coral background is done by using the Brushstroke app with the Amber effect. The little blue 'journal card' with the same photo was made using the Inkwork app. The larger photo on the right was made using the Toon Camera app. It's neat to see three different effects on the same photo.

Thank you for the challenge. I first extracted the water in the photo app on my Apple device, I then edited the photo of water using blending by reducing the saturation of the photo & then uesed a blue overlay & a bubble overlay to add to the bubbles (for fun) & airbrush brush.
